D. The distributive property That is what jack used
Answer: 
<u>Add 3x to both sides</u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Subtract 15 from both sides</u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Divide both sides by 5</u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
-1/2(x + 2) + 11/2 + x = 3
-1/2x - 1 + 11/2 + x = 3
1/2x + 9/2 = 3
1/2x = 3 - 9/2 = -3/2
x = -3/2 * 2 = -3
x = -3
Answer:
.
For values of x>0, it can be rewritten as 
Step-by-step explanation:
For the expression:

We can apply this logarithmical property: 
Then,

If we assume values of <em>x </em>> 0 (non negative values for x), then the expression could be rewritten as follows:
, since 
We have to remember that <em>domain</em> (all possible values x) for logarithmic function is for all x > 0, or mathematically expressed as:
Domain: 
7 million because 1 is closer to 7 than to 8
